Can't download in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Is anyone else experiencing a 400 bad request Cloudflare error when trying to download from WinCustomize? I am trying to figure out if it's a site issue or on my end. I have cleared cookies and site data and flushed my DNS cache, signed out of Wincustomize, and restarted my computer with the same results. OK, I just discovered that it might only be with the recent Yahoo Widget v.452 multi; for some reason I am unable to download that. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/39/20/3920

[quote who="basj" reply="3994008" id="541755"] I tested on my Windows 10 VM and it look like I still can change it. But, do note that I am not at the latest Windows 10 OS Build. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] Yes, but that is for a shortcut, not for the program .exe file.

I don't remember being able to change icons for .exe files; I was only able to change them for shortcuts. I changed icons for .exe files in the past using Resource Hacker. I can still change shortcut icons on Windows IoT Enterprise edition.

Reply to New Secure Boot Certificates for Older Computers in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I might be worse off than any of you. I have an older HP computer running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. I have not had the desire or need to buy a new computer because what I have works well. I just tried to enable secure boot in the BIOS, but when I did, the computer would not boot at all. What made my attempt even worse was that after enabling secure boot, my display drivers would not load and the computer would just send a flickering screen to my monitor. Luckily, I had enough s

Reply to Rainmeter weather is not working in Help WinCustomize Forums

xWidget has been mentioned a couple of times; just so people know, xWidget has been dead for years, as the developer, Tony, has been MIA. As someone who has made over a hundred xWidget widgets, I still use it, but the weather no longer works, so I have been using Rainmeter for weather, which I don't like all that much because of the boring weather backgrounds, but for those who don't care about what it looks like and just want the info, Rainmeter is working well, at least in my neck of the wo

Reply to Odd quirk with VLC Media Player and WB 11.07 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I cannot reproduce that issue, but I am using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. I am using WB 11.07, though, and when I double-click a video file, VLC opens and plays it normally. I know my reply does not help you, but it might help support if it is version-related, I doubt it is, but we are talking about Microsoft.

Reply to MyColors Themes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

You kinda of answered your question when you said "not compatible." MyColors servers are dead so you cannot install them even if the themes were compatible with W11 (at least the traditional way). That being said, I have had varying success using them on W10 with extracting the theme file with 7zip and installing the app themes individually. Worked sometimes with W10, but I don't know how well that will work with W11.

Reply to how do you make the icons bigger in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

lethalman4000, what basj and I are trying to tell you is that you have too many icons on the dock, once the dock reaches the edges of the screen, you can no longer make them larger. I made a YouTube video to show what we are talking about, notice that when my dock is expanded all the way to the edges with a lot of icons on the dock, the icons can no longer be resized larger.

[quote who="lethalman4000" reply="7" id="3972444"] I've done that but no difference mate thanks for your help bro [/quote] That setting works, it might be because you have too many shortcuts on your dock that it spans the entire screen so it's unable to make those icons larger.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced issues with hiding quick access icons using Start 11? I have "Never show icons" selected, but they are still displayed on the start menu. I know that I will likely be asked this, Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.5854, Start 11 version 2.08, I guess it's not the latest build and I don't want to update to have that option work, it's the only issue I have experienced and it's not a big deal, that being said, I would like to get rid of

Reply to Is WindowsBlinds even a thing anymore? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Let's be honest here, Windowblinds is not what it used to be. I know a lot of people still use Windowblinds, however, it's not used as much as it was a few years ago. I have not used Windowblinds in over 2 years. I often find too many colour conflicts with various font sections, and though I can sometimes correct those issues with Skinstudio, I don't bother; I have settled on using Start11. Not many people make skins for Windowblinds, there is one faithful person here (Lightstar) that up
